Focusing on video essays in academic teaching, our hybrid workshop (four people in the room and four on zoom) at the HSLU in Emmenbrücke was a great success. On 21/22 Oct, Miklós Kiss, Kevin B. Lee, and Catherine Grant offered us their insights into video essay instructions. In addition to inspiring discussions, we assumed the role of students ourselves and gained new insight by participating in the exercises that Kevin and Catherine proposed to us right then and there.
